Canceling pre-rendered and absolutely unrelated to actual gameplay trailers with bullshit that you can never actually do in-game - that would cut costs at no loss
You don't need a luxury car for that, just put some xenon headlamps on average impreza (or what do they call cool now? but has to have a spoiler) and don't dim, you can automagically become an asshole at no extra charge.
Those who finds model numbers unintuitive usually asks one of their geek friends to build a PC for them, those who don't even bother looking at model number but rather look up the benchmarks don't care about the model numbers.
The real issue with PC gaming is that a lot of games these days are shitty console ports with atrocious controls, awful camera and graphics that are still stuck on xbox360/ps3 level which are already outdated by just about any discrete video card, and there's no incentive for companies to change their "make console game -> port to pc to milk" agenda.
I wish these were less of a niche- product, and reduced the cost a bit... Also reduce form factor by a tiny bit while we're at it and there's a "tablet killer" (or killer tablet, depending how you look at it) right there.
I wonder if the battery recharge cycles problem has been solved already in the Qi standard.
If walking near a charging pad is going to "expend" a recharge cycle, it's going to be annoying trying to navigate between cubicles without walking into some charging field.
20mW x (conservatively) 50,000,000 devices nationwide (what, you thought this was just about cell phones? Don't forget LameBoys, PeeS2's and the NoMindO DS) ~= [insignificant figure in the grand scheme of things]
Whoa, an AC confirmed your conspiracy theory, call the press!
I couldn't give a rats ass who made feature X first, "stealing" features dates back to stone age. However, Apple directly hurts my interests as the consumer - by blocking competing products, which is why they don't deserve my money(even though their hardware is nice).
You've just described about 90% of computer users right here
Stop making up numbers, it's nowhere near 9 out of 10. Your grandma may have that usage pattern, even moderately computer illeterate person has at least some VOIP, browser and a game open.
I don't know where you live that you need "top tier PC" to play games, but where I live - I bought a cheap mid-tier PC with a mid-tier GFX card about 2 years ago and I can still play every AAA game ( if I turn down AA and AF a bit ) with much better video/sound quality and less input lag than OnLive will ever be capable of.
I've already prepared a few packs of popcorn when they push an update that BSODs on boot for even 10% configs, it'll be fun unless you work in IT
2560x resolution screen with a GPU powerful enough for smooth gameplay at that resolution
Oooooh yea, imagine that farmville in 2K @ 60fps !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Pretty much sums up all the bullshit you hear about aliens in UFOs

... related to gnome already sounds negative

A laptop and a tablet
ATI driver being open is the reason it's so stable and leaves nvidia in the dust performance wise, right? Oh wait
When a company goes out of it's way to screw you then *you* might like to use lube and enjoy it, other people don't.
Hey, it brings in viewers, however idiotic it is

App store? Running binaries related in any way to a community that's all about trolling probably isn't the best course of action.
Didn't TSA want to insert themselves into more markets? Like trains, border checkpoints and such?
What is GPS? What's a laser? It was 1945...
Though the AC above you is right, history is written by the victors.

Also, the text doesn't smear into unreadable goo.
You know, in most places you're not a "criminal" until you're convicted... Apparently not in yours...
The corners probably ain't rounded enough for the judge...
